The letter was read by the President of the Senate, Ahmad Lawan, on the floor of the Senate on Tuesday.
Onochie is the Special Assistant to the President on Social Media.
Prof. Muhaamad Sani – Katsina State; Lauretta Onochie – Delta State; Kunle Cornelius Ajayi – Ekiti State, and Seidu Ahmad – Jigawa State.
